It’s the week following Breakin’ Even Fest 2. So we wanted to recap the weekend and everything that went into it.

Once again, over the course of two nights we had 200+ people in the room despite rain and larger shows like The Black Lips and Coheed & Cambria within 15 minutes of Songbyrd.

The “business model” we run on is – keep ticket prices low and profit margins so tight that we’re operating under the assumption we’re losing money. Stupid? Yes. But despite our anti-corporate mantra we’ve continued to sneak by and break even. We also raised $300 for Girls Rock! DC through your shirt and tote purchases. Hell yeah!

Breakin’ Even Fest is a celebration of music and the people who fill the rooms to experience it. We hope you found your new favorite band at this little festival and we hope to see you next year.

People want set times. We get it, gotta plan accordingly… But for real, please come out and support the bands for the entire night. So much goes into this event and many of these bands are the ones who fuel the DC music scene.

We hit 600 likes tonight, so we wanted to give you a peek at some of the goodies inside this year’s merch raffle. These raffle boxes weigh about 20lbs each! That’s alot of stuff, including music, shirts, and other goodies from Epitaph, Side One Dummy, Asian Man Records, Royal Mountain, The Beautiful Music, Black Numbers and 6131.

$2 per raffle ticket / 3 for $5
All money raised will go to the bands on the festival.
